Common Challenges for Delhi Entrepreneurs

Service	What We Do
FEMA/LRS at Delhi Banks	Form A2 at RBI-authorised bank (CP branches best equipped). Incorrect filing blocks fund transfer. Patron prepares FEMA docs
UAE Bank Rejection (30% rate)	Emirates NBD/Mashreq/ADCB strict KYC. Delhi businesses without export history face higher rejection. Patron pre-qualifies
Wrong Jurisdiction (Aerocity)	Logistics firms choose Free Zone unaware Mainland needed for UAE govt/port contracts. Patron prevents costly restructuring
CEPA Underutilisation	CP importers and Okhla manufacturers miss 97% duty concessions by registering Offshore instead of Mainland
CT Registration Missed	90-day deadline from MOA. AED 10,000 penalty. Delhi entrepreneurs without local UAE CA often miss it. Patron covers post-registration
